'Lack of evidence' that popular sports products work

If you are in the UK I suspect that you can watch the program on iPlayer.

I have read a number of articles recently over the dubious qualities of expensive trainers/supplements which confirm what I suspected that a lot of people spend a lot of money on stuff that will have minimal impact on their performance.

Much like Gatorade now being sold beside every other beverage, but they still make their claims that it's a sports drink. People think that drinking it somehow makes them into athletes, much like drinking diet coke means one is on a diet.

The one that pisses me off are the "Q-Ray Bracelets". People believe in them with a religious fervour.
